Authority

Jiddu Krishnamurti quote

If someone has helped you and you make of him your
authority, then are you not preventing all further help, not only from him,
but from everything about you? Does not help lie about you everywhere? Why
look in only one direction? And when you are so enclosed so bound, can any
help reach you? But when you are open, there is unending help in all things,
from the song of a bird to the call of a human being, from the blade of grass
to the immensity of the heavens. The poison and corruption begin when you
look to one person as your authority, your guide, your saviour.
